LESSED Madeleine  Sophie,  wonderfully  chosen  by  God to make  the  divine  Heart  of  Jesus  known  and  loved, and ever  faithful  to  that  apostolate,  accept  this  day  our confidence and  prayers  in  proof  of  our  allegiance. Look upon us  kindly  and  come  to  our  assistance  by  thy  intercession before  the  throne  of  the  Most  High. Guide us  in the  path  of  meekness  and  humility:  set  our  hearts  on  fire with that  zeal  with  which  thine  own  was  devoured:  protect us,  that  we  may  deserve  to  see  our  names  written  in that  most  sacred  Heart,  and  to  make  in  it  alone  our  home for time  and  for  eternity. Amen.

ord Jesus  Christ,  Who  didst  wonderfully  grace  Blessed Madeleine Sophie  with  humility  and  love  after  the model of  Thy  sacred  Heart,  and  didst  will  that  a  new  company of  virgins  should  flower  forth  through  her:  make  us cling  ever  to  Thy  most  sacred  Heart,  and  by  our  imitation of the  same  find  our  joy  in  becoming  Thy  companions: Who livest  and  reignest  one  God,  forever  and  ever. Amen.

ord Jesus,  let  me  know  myself,  let  me  know  Thee,

And desire  nothing  else  but  Thee.

Let me  hate  myself  and  love  Thee,

And do  all  things  for  the  sake  of  Thee.

Let me  humble  myself  and  exalt  Thee,

And think  of  nothing  else  but  Thee.

Let me  die  to  myself  and  live  in  Thee,

And take  whatever  happens  as  coming  from  Thee.

Let me  forsake  myself  and  walk  after  Thee,
